Suzuki Splash hatchback review - CarBuyer

If there's one thing Suzuki knows a thing or two about, then it's making small cars. The Splash is, largely, another fine example of Suzuki's ability to maximise space and efficiency. Despite being tall it still looks cute, but there's loads of passenger room front and back. Sadly, the boot is far too small to make it a serious family runabout. And while it's well built, the cabin doesn't have a great deal of flair. All three engines are cheap to run, but none especially quick.

Wife had a diesel one for 5 years. Faultless reliabilty lots of power for what it is. Handling good but firm on the bumps. Son got it now and he loves it too. I just never lets you down

I did an advert for this car on my YouTube, it's great! Very smooth, comfortable car to own!

I love this car. The splash is going to be my new secondhand car at the fall /winter this year. I'm planning to purchase the 1.2 comfort that will replace my 0.8 Daewoo Matiz. I make 200 km.'s per week for work and mostly on the motorway. So that is going to be a huge improvement. I can not wait until I have saved enough money :)

The interior is huge.Very well put together.Surprising handling too!Little boot, but with a big hidden compartment  and a 5th narrow tyre underneath.The direction is quite sharp, making the Swift feel very bland and unsporty.The gearchange  (1, 2 lt)comes from Fiat, it is a bit tight, becauce of the double synchro.Nevertheless, it is much more durable and reliable that way (and quite expensive to construct). 
Suspension confort rates from good to very good.At 150km/h on the motorway, and it feels like it is still! Unbelievable (only wind noise is of concern at these speeds)!

I own the sister, Opel Agila 1.2, and I am very satisfied with this tiny car. It's relatively comfortable seats for the size and sharp in turns, it's cheap to run, it's cheap to service and maintenance, and much quicker than you would imagine if you dare to use high revs in an acceleration.  It leaves the " much faster paper-tigers" from VW behind! :-)
But it's NOT a Mercedes, and never meant to be...
And it's NOT a Ferrarri, and never meant to be...

Mines on the drive way, haven’t driven it yet, needs a new engine cause my sister overheated it 😒 but I’m glad it’s going to be my first car, plus it’s second hand, got it for free from my grandad, and it’s only got 13, 000 miles on it 😊

It's cars like this that make me miss having Suzuki in the united states.

[davidrussell]

i mate of mine owns one of these in Germany and find it's a good car. I own a Subaru Impreza here in the States, where a car this small would be intimidated on the roads with all the bloody SUVs about. That said, when she said 51 mpgn I almost fell out of my desk chair. Lord-a-Mercy, I need that in my life. I'm lucky if I get 28 mpg from my Impreza around town, thought it is good on the highway (38 mpg), but no where near 51. I'm 6'3", so I'm a little concerned about being too tall.

Does anyone know if the 2014 Splash has an aux lead or bluetooth? Looking to buy one of these but need to find a way to connect my phone!

Why do you think is slow on motorway what engine model you driving

[AMandreqwerty]

Hi there!

???

Good review for a car I am considering to buy in the new year. Absolutely no big deal that this car-or any other-will not break any speed records out of town. It's time more people drove cars like this than pointless high performance cars or huge people carriers/4x4 which people drive so aggressively! And when are these people going to actually get much above 50 on any motorway with road works and never ending accidents! I am all for good value for money, environmentally friendly and town friendly cars.

I have a Suzuki Alto OMG the best little car on the road today. Petrol fantastic. No tax. 13 reg just so reliable and excellent. Boot space Noooo not upsetting fantastic fits loads in. Recommend it to anyone Who wants a small brill car.

Btw Rebecca, can you please ask cameraman to zoom-out a bit, when you are saying "here.. here.. here and here!" :)
Very Informative video.

I'm fan of Mat but I must admit you are doing a great job!

[tallen]

that gear shifter cover, how old school! not even any fake leather!

[macbitz]

I love the way she waggles the gear stick and says "the gear is positioned here which is within easy reach". Newsflash - car manufacturers have been putting the gear shift there for decades now... move along =;-)

[parisoinone]

I think this is the best reasonable compact car. Great.

[waynedome]

What grade petrol to put in a 2009 splash 91 or 95
